Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Now she had finally convinced herself to come here, but she hadn't even seen the person yet and she had caused such an embarrassing situation. Yu Jiaojiao felt extremely ashamed and angry.

She tugged at her mother's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, let's go. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Madam Yu glared at her fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl! Why are you leaving when you haven't finished your work yet?!"

After saying that, she looked at the little girl who was leading the way as if nothing had happened.

"What are you still standing there for? Lead the way."

The partition on the second floor only serves as a shield, but it is not soundproof at all, so Baili Nanqing had already heard the noise outside.

She was originally still struggling with how to reject the other party, but now it seems... Humph!

When Madam Yu walked into the compartment, she saw Baili Nanqing eating and drinking leisurely, enjoying herself very much. When she saw her coming in, she didn't even stand up.

She cursed in her heart, "Lack of education", then suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile:

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Sister Baili looks even more radiant than before. It seems like she is really in high spirits when she is happy!"

Baili Nanqing put down the cup in her hand and looked at Madam Yu with a smile, "Madam Yu is really getting better at talking, but where does this happy event come from?"

Madam Yu's expression changed, and then she smiled again:

"Sister Baili is being modest. Everyone knows that Qingxin Academy has caught the attention of the royal family.

When Lord Shangguan just resigned from his office, our Jiaojiao's grandfather got very angry and kept saying what a pity it was.

But now it seems that we were worrying too much. Lord Shangguan is a man of foresight."

"Mrs. Yu, you are too kind." Baili Nanqing replied calmly, "It is just a coincidence. Our master is just a commoner now and cannot be called 'sir'."

Seeing the other party's cold expression, Madam Yu was secretly annoyed. Isn't she just a small headmaster's wife? He actually pretended to be noble in front of her, humph!

Although she was upset, she still had something important to ask for, so she could only laugh dryly and turned to look at her little daughter, "Jiaojiao, why don't you meet Madam Shangguan quickly."

Yu Jiaojiao bowed reluctantly, but couldn't utter a single nice word.

Baili Nanqing forced a faint smile and nodded in response.

Madam Yu saw this and said straight to the point, "We, mother and daughter, came here today to ask for a favor."

Seeing that the person opposite her was only concentrating on drinking tea and not talking, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to herself:

"Sister, you know that I only have this one precious daughter, who has been pampered since she was young. Although I have found a female teacher to give this child a few lessons, she is the only girl in the mansion, so it is inevitable that she is a little lonely.

I wonder what the requirements are for Qingxin Academy to recruit students. Is our Jiaojiao suitable?"

"Not suitable."

Madam Yu felt that she must have been hallucinating, and asked uncertainly:

"Sister Baili, what did you say?"

Yu Jiaojiao was sitting aside, twisting the handkerchief absentmindedly. She looked up in shock. Was this a direct rejection from the other party? !

"Your daughter is not suitable for Qingxin Academy." Baili Nanqing repeated again.

"Qingxin Academy is a charity school. I think Madam Yu should know that, right? The students in the academy are all from poor families or even unwanted beggars. It would be inappropriate for Jiaojiao to go there."

Madam Yu's smile froze on her face. She didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful, but she still suppressed her anger and said:

"I don't agree with what you said, sister. Since children from poor families can go, why can't a smart girl like Jiaojiao from our family go? Don't worry about the tuition and other expenses, we will bear them all.

If more children from families like ours could go in, the academy could earn a lot of money, saving us the trouble of paying out of our own pockets."

Baili Nanqing interrupted her and said solemnly:

“Qingxin Academy is a charity school and that will never change.

As for the money, you don’t need to worry about it. When the children grow up, they will naturally give back to the academy. Those who have money will give money, and those who don’t will contribute their labor.”

She did not give Madam Yu a chance to refute, and said in confusion:

"To be honest, I don't quite understand. The Yu family is a scholarly family that is unrivaled in our Da'an country. Why do you want to let Jiaojiao go to the academy in the suburbs of Beijing?"

She paused, then asked again with a slight hesitation:

"Excuse me, does the Lord Jijiu know about your plan?"

Madam Yu's face turned pale and blue, she looked unhappy and angry. What right did this person have to point fingers at me?!

Suddenly she had the idea of ​​throwing the jar into the ground, so she simply said:

"Sister Baili, why do you have to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth? I guess there are quite a few people who have asked you for help these days. Who wouldn't want the title of Queen?

"It would be a great benefit for the girls to get some advice from the Empress. Not everyone is as lucky as your daughter, who accompanied the Emperor and Empress in the Summer Resort for two whole months!"

At this moment, Yu Jiaojiao on the side suddenly slammed the table and stood up like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Mother, since they are so unwilling, why should we lower ourselves to such humiliation?!

My daughter doesn't care about this lousy academy, whoever wants to go can go!"

After saying that, she lifted up her skirt and trotted out of the compartment. Before Madam Yu could chase her out, she heard a low cry.

That voice was clearly a man's!

Thinking of this, her face immediately turned pale and she rushed out without even saying hello.

When she pulled aside the two cotton curtains, she saw her little daughter standing there with a red face, and in front of her stood a young man.

The man was wearing a royal blue gown and had a slender figure and handsome face. At this moment, he was looking at Yu Jiaojiao with an apologetic look.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect someone to suddenly run out." The man said softly.

"You... who are you? Why are you here? You bumped into my daughter, and you think you can get away with it by just saying sorry? Don't even think about it!" Madam Yu shouted.

The surroundings were silent, so Madam Yu's voice seemed particularly abrupt and sharp. Many people couldn't help but frown and looked over here frequently, their eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Madam Yu's face turned pale instantly, and she was secretly annoyed at herself for acting impulsively in the moment, and being disliked because of her loud voice.

Shuiyunjian is really hypocritical. A business shop doesn't allow people to talk normally. What kind of broken rule is this? !

The man was scolded in public and looked a little embarrassed. He thought this was a beautiful encounter, especially in such an elegant place as a bookstore.

But I never thought that there was a tigress following this girl.

He took a deep breath, continued to maintain his politeness, and asked:

"Although it was your daughter who bumped into me, as a man I naturally have to take more responsibility.

Madam, what do you want?"

Yu Jiaojiao almost buried her head in her body. The golden butterfly hairpin in her hair swayed gently, shining with a bright yellow luster.

The young man looked away from the playful hairpin and his expression softened. After all, the beauty was in front of him, and he didn't want to make things too awkward.

Madam Yu was stunned by the question. What could she do?

It was just a momentary impulse. Her daughter bumped into a strange man. She couldn't even cover up this kind of thing, so why would she keep harping on it? !

This matter seemed to have taken a long time, but in fact it only took a few breaths.

Just when Madam Yu was about to pretend nothing had happened and leave with her daughter, Baili Nanqing came out of the compartment.

"Is Madam Yu in trouble? Do you need help from your sister?"

Madam Yu...

When the young man heard this name, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He turned his head again to look at the little girl beside him who was still burying her head in her own shyness, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

"No need, Sister Baili, just go and do your own thing. We should go back."

Madam Yu glared at the man beside her unhappily, and quickly left with her daughter. However, the young man bowed slightly to Baili Nanqing.

"It turned out to be Madam Shangguan. Madam, how are you?"

"May I know who you are...?" Baili Nanqing was sure that she had never seen this junior before, but he looked somewhat familiar.

There was an ugly look in Xuanyuan Jing's eyes. He was the fourth prince, but he was like an invisible man and no one knew about him!

A handsome young man suddenly appeared from nowhere, bowed to Baili Nanqing and replied respectfully:

"My humble servant greets Madam Shangguan. Our master is the fourth son of the Emperor. He has been living in seclusion for many years, so it's no wonder that Madam doesn't recognize him."
